Job description

Headquartered in Montreal and Berlin, Vention helps manufacturers automate their operations in record time with the only hardware and software AI-powered platform built for the factory floor. Our technology powers over 25,000 machines across 4,000 factories across 5 continents and we have the privilege to work with a significant proportion of Fortune 500 manufacturers, from space rockets, to electrical cars, to robotics.

At Vention, you’ll work alongside driven and talented people who care deeply about their craft and the impact they create. We’re a team of high achievers who grow through meaningful work, solving complex challenges, learning fast, and seeing the results of our efforts every day.

We move quickly and aim high, but we do it together with care, collaboration, and respect. Our culture celebrates diverse perspectives and supports your growth through intentional development, strong leadership, and opportunities to make a real difference.

Job Description

The Enterprise Customer Success Manager (CSM) at Vention will play a critical role in shaping the post-sale journey for our largest and most strategic accounts. Your mission is to ensure measurable client outcomes by bridging plant-floor realities with executive-level KPIs.

Your focus will be on three key impact metrics:

• Adoption (ensuring successful usage and integration of Vention’s solutions)
• Net Dollar Retention (NDR) (renewals, upsells, and expansion)

This hybrid operational-commercial function is designed to maximize value realization, strengthen client partnerships, and position Vention as a strategic growth partner. You will collaborate closely with Account Executives, Operations, Support, Product, and Engineering to ensure customers achieve their goals and realize ROI.

As the first Enterprise CSM at Vention, you will also be instrumental in laying the foundation for a scalable Customer Success organization.

More specifically, your role will include:

• Act as the primary relationship owner for ~75–100 strategic accounts, post-delivery, ensuring a smooth post-sale journey.
• Conduct proactive health checks and Executive Business Reviews (EBRs) to identify risks, opportunities, and client objectives.
• Build and track Success Plans tied to adoption milestones, uptime performance, and measurable ROI outcomes.
• Monitor adoption, uptime, and usage patterns through analytics platforms; ensure plant uptime stays above 99%.
• Partner with Account Executives to drive renewals and identify expansion signals, directly contributing to NDR growth (services, bundles, cell upgrades, etc.).
• Serve as a trusted advisor, translating operational KPIs into executive-level business outcomes.
• Capture and consolidate product feedback, delivering quarterly insights (top 5 friction points & trends) to Product and Engineering.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with Sales, CS, Product, and Engineering to ensure seamless adoption and continuous improvement.
• Champion the Voice of the Customer, influencing Vention’s priorities.
